Reader Poll Replies: * I
would select a modern kids theme, I still think Las Vegas is for kids of
all ages. Bonnie T. CA
* My ideal casino theme would be
Barbarian theme will cavemen and women attire and some sexy outfits.
Ron TX
* I would go with
ultra modern/chic.....kind of like the casino equivalent of the "W"
hotel chain. P.M. Vavra Niceville, FL
* I see the next effective
theme being related to the "Digital World"...., Celebrating computers,
communications, data processing and related topics. All rooms have video
phones, fax, laptop connections. While on the property all guests have
pager/cell phones to be notified of; reservations, dinner table
availability,, child care. Decorations could focus on; Star Trek, Space
exploration, computing, communications. robots, video/voice data
transmission, more progressive machines paying at lower $$ amounts..,
higher frequencies. Bruce H Beane Nashua NH
* I think London would be
good, to compete with Paris. There are a lot of famous London sights
that could be duplicated, and it would be welcomed in Las Vegas. John
A Kirk.
* AFRICA !!!!!!! Show people
what Ernest Hemingway knew and loved. Name restaurants, "The Boma", "
The Kalahari", "Elephant Walk" Could be the Safari many people dream of
taking. Karen Geampa Summerton, South Carolina
* I would select a Haunted
Mansion theme. It would also be fun to see the dealers, waitresses and
other workers in the casino dressed up as different scary movie
characters. Halloween is such a fun day, and it would be like Halloween
every day, although I guess it would be a pain to the workers to have to
put on a costume and different make-up. Tammy Fortier
Chalmette, Louisiana
* My "theme" casino would be
an Oldies/50's casino with 50's music and memorabilia and entertainers!
You could have one of those picture places where you dress in 50's
clothes and get your pix taken. Don't know about other baby boomers, but
I listen to an Oldies radio station, go to Oldies concerts - Nostalgia
is BIG! Florence Mack McKees Rocks, PA
* "Africa" would be the next
theme based casino I'd like to see. Base it on the whole "wild"
experience, with themed restaurants, jungle bars, costumes for workers,
and rain forest and drought areas. Open air markets for shops,
artificial and "live" wildlife exhibits throughout the casino. Dancers,
tribe representatives, and cultural artifacts. Make the casino like a
"visit" to Africa. Scott DeWeese Evans, Washington
* Based on the "lord of the
rings" Hotel could be one of the castles ... or a Hobit town for
shopping. Shows could include wizard magic. Beautiful
scenery ... Hobit themed eatery ... a fairies land based casino or hotel
rooms , Living in the trees based casino or shopping mall ... room with
themes available from many locations ... Even a Dark forest teamed
casino .... with the eye on the cards and prizes (like those win a coin
games ... wining the ring!) Water and statues / Burning mountains
/ Wizard castles Would be fun ... just have to figure out what to do
with the forks.

* I would like to see a
Tarzan theme. Have employees wear loin clothes, etc. The whole jungle
thing throughout the casino. It takes you back to a more primitive time,
be wild. Bettina Bledsoe Aurora, CO
* I suggest that they use
the theme of "Romance", and they can have Cupid, with Arrows, and they
can have the rooms decorated with bright, pastel, colors, with jacuzzi
baths, and champagne on arrival. They can also have shops that carry
many romantic items, such as flowers, candy, sexy clothes - reasonably
priced, and special romantic restaurants, with the right romantic
setting. Maybe have colored candles, and a special table cloths and
napkins. The casinos can have sweet sounding music playing, and video
monitors spread around showing people interacting in beautiful settings
- preferably floral/garden, and oceans. Ron Schwartz
* I think a Greek
theme with the buildings all white on top of a cliff looking down onto
the strip, with beautiful marble ruins and statues ,waterfalls, a dinner
show with plate smashing and Greek music. Lesley Macneill
Vancouver BC
* Space & future. Was
looking forward for the new Moon Resort that was going to be built in
Las Vegas, that is going to be built somewhere else. We think
Space theme. Bob Miller Chino Valley AZ
* Ancient Greece.
With so much history, mythology, art and architecture, Olympics,
wars and legends it can be a lot of fun for everybody. Polina
Yerkhov Reseda, CA
* I would choose a
British theme for the next themed resort. We have Italy, Paris, Egypt,
New York, Asia, Arabian and desert, Wild West, why not Jolly Old
England? There could be a myriad of ideas from a miniature Buckingham
Palace complete with changing of the guards and a Queen Elizabeth
look-a-like to Kensington Gardens. Perhaps the Tate museum can be
persuaded to open an exhibit there? Also, English food can be part of
the theme. A replica of the Millennium Eye (the huge Ferris wheel) from
London would be a great attraction and marquee. Just a thought, the
Excalibur is somewhat British, but in folklore only. George
Gryak West Mifflin, Pennsylvania
* If I could build a new
theme casino, it would be Jurasic Park type as the real dinosaur bones
that are together are massive and phenomenal! Think what things you
could do around that. Cave women, etc... slots and gaming with
prehistoric, could have caves and waterfalls and the list goes on. Cindy
Hill Enid, OK
* I would have the theme of
The USA. A lot of people will never travel to several of the 50 states.
Each area has their own climate, food, and industries, and attractions.
People should get better acquainted with their own country.
Janice MacFarlane North Chelmsford, Mass
* How about a casino with
the theme winter theme with an area of cold air and real snow. You could
have shows with arctic animals. That would be a welcome addition to the
desert!! Michelle Cusick Julian, PA
* I think an Asian/Chinese
theme such as "The Forbidden City" or "The Great Wall" or "The Dragon"
would satisfy and/or increase the Asian market share as well as to
attract those who appreciate such a themed hotel/casino. W.V.
Kuh Albuquerque, NM
* The next theme should be
the Eskimo igloo theme. It would be neat to see ice sculptures,
nightclubs with the ice look, and it would be cool invitations from the
Vegas heat. It could even have a water park, like Blizzard beach in
Florida. Maggie Nagel Clearwater, Florida
*
I would like an Hawaiian theme with Hawaiian music and
waterfalls, a few grass huts. Also have Hawaiian dancers. Each of the
suites would be named for each island. The name of the hotel The
Hawaiian Hotel and Casino. Carol
* Hi there - there is only 1 and
it is so obvious. The Russian angle based on the Kremlin and red square.
I have been there and it is a quite spectacular sight at night to look
up on the hill with all the buildings all lit up. It would be quite a
visual sight especially recreated here in Vegas. You already have a bit
of Russia at Mandalay in the form of red square restaurant and bar so
why not go for the full Russian theme? Pia Kilm
* Haunted Mansion, Just
different from everything else. Imagine, a Haunted Mansion on the Strip.
Lyda Santiesteban Miami
* Roaring Twenties...because
it was a FREE time. A NEW time for cars, clothes, whiskey, smoking,
speakeasy theme, music. Most living today have only seen that era
in photos and movies, but a casino and hotel could REPLAY that time for
today's generations. Dorothy Booth
* Hi, I would like to suggest the
"Down Under Casino". Australia is certainly far away and exotic. We have
lots of Australian style machines in our casinos. Australians are a
fun-loving bunch of "blokes". They enjoy shrimp on the barbie, steak and
beer. They still have a frontier mentality but different enough from the
US "cowboy" style to be a popular destination. Adrienne & Bill
Sheneman
* China's Forbidden City
would be a likely next choice, no real Oriental Theme ( outside of the
IP ) has been used yet in Vegas. Maybe an Oriental theme with the
Forbidden City as a part, scale model of the Great Wall of China,
Pagoda's, Geisha Girls and Samurai. Top notch Thai, Japanese and Chinese
Restaurants featuring cooking from the entire region. There is so much
diversity there that the choices are almost endless. You could focus on
just one area or blend everything together in one over all theme. Thank
you for considering my idea. Dan Aldrige
* If copyrights and such
didn't matter...my themed casino would be based on J.R.R. Tolkien's
"Middle Earth". The books have been popular for years, and now the
movies have increased that popularity. I would pay to stay in a Hobbit
hole suite or an Elvish paradise. The different towers of the casino
would be named after the towers and fortresses from the books. Okay ,
I'm a geek, I don't mind admitting it! Barbara Richmond
Clarksville Indiana
* I think a casino theme
based on the culture of Japan (city of Tokyo and surrounding
countryside) would offer many opportunities to explore the current
fascination with this culture and cuisine. Regional dishes (like the
great buffet at Paris Casino), Japanese gardens, an escape from the
hustle and bustle, the newest in electronic gadgetry, etc would be a
very attractive addition. Bill Diego, CA
* "The Wheel of Fortune" with a
huge Ferris wheel at entrance to have great panoramic view of strip,
with wheel offering prizes. Vana look a likes roaming around. John
Booth Diamondhead,MS
* An Elvis theme would be
fun, with all the impersonators, they would have only the best ones. You
could use some of his movies or songs for the different rooms/areas. i
mean really who doesn't love Elvis!!! Rebecca Busha
Bridgewater, Mich.
* Since many people enjoy
sports, why not a sports theme with slot machines to match. Sections of
the casino could be devoted to soccer - hockey - football, etc. Plain
and simple, but enjoyable to many. Mary Lou Drdek
